Hi, incredibly useful site, I've learned a lot from this forum but I have a question I haven't seen posted here before. I have 37 cards that are about 3" by 7" that look like raw stock boards that they cut computer ram from - I really have no idea what they are to be honest. They test (with my crappy test kit) 22k or higher, how reliable that is I don't know, but I was wondering if I could just burn the plastic substrate away from the gold as the heat needed to melt the higher purity gold is greater. Maybe. These are beautiful boards that I think I nearly stole from an eBay seller, they are mustard yellow with no copper backing and the gold is very thick, compared to what I'm used to at least.
I've never seen this type of board before and was wondering how to use them the most effectively. I've learned from you good people how to extract and refine somewhat decently after a long period of trial and error, but it seems to me that these could be cut into strips and just burn away the epoxy/plastic much easier, and then molded or further refined from that point on. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
